Paul is correct, I'm afraid. But perhaps you could reply with statements to
the effect that you are not a vendor, but a WHOLESALE CUSTOMER.
Then you can buy Lego products at wholesale cost (and pay after delivery) and
save a ton of money. Lego MSRP in the USA used to be 40% then 38% now
shrinking to 35% markup for retailers (except perhaps the mega-stores) over
wholesale cost. At a savings of 35% off retail you could start a secret online
store and make a ton of money.
But anyway, back to reality.
